4.0
A well-crafted suspense thriller with historical drama, interesting characters, an atmospheric setting, and a great payoff. All the mycology mentions throughout the story (one of the characters is into mushroom hunting) played off my recent read on the subject too.
Graphic: Body horror, Emotional abuse, Gore, and Colonisation
Moderate: Racism, Sexism, Sexual violence, and Schizophrenia/Psychosis
